SS 18 had all my favourite colours so I bought a ton of CSGMS, mousselines and scarves. I’ll be very relieved if AW doesn’t have a lot that appeals to me. My money tree could use a break!

CSGM of Sous l’Egide de Mars may be on on my list depending on the CWs.

My mantra is if we all liked the same thing, the world would be pretty boring.

Young, tech-obsessed, first-timers (people who will buy one status object and not care about the history of the house). But I like the rooftop!

You know, I don't think this is necessarily true. As someone who is young and tech-obsessed and who switched from a career in very traditional finance to a career in tech, I have seen many sides of Hermes consumer demographic.

Hermes is a business and they have to make money, and more and more people are becoming more casual, and many of these more casual industries -- like tech -- are where the money is (aka potential consumers). I don't know if that means people don't appreciate craftsmanship. The men I work with in tech may not own a single tie so they won't be buying Hermes ones like my finance colleagues did, but they love an idea of a well-crafted Hermes laptop bag or an Hermes notebook. Or Hermes sneakers. And they can certainly afford them -- and they do buy them. (I am not even going to talk about horse back riding accessories -- the sport is huge in Silicon Valley).

Interestingly, the women I work with are less interested in just buying one Birkin like my finance colleagues did; there is actually a lot more interest in 'non-status' items like interesting Hermes jewelry or scarves. There truly is a lot less interest in just status items but more in what the item and the craftsmanship is, and that's not something I ever thought I would find in Silicon Valley.

The new store in Palo Alto features a similar 'more casual' feel. It is still very much an Hermes store. The one thing they did was put multiple types of items in one area -- so they may have leather gloves with twillies with bracelets with scarf rings. I like it. (plus it's good for sales -- I wouldn't normally look at Hermes gloves, but now I am intrigued)

Now in terms of scarf designs -- I am not very excited about designs for this season, but I am not complaining. Some of the ideas are out there (the baobab cat I am still not sold on, despite being a cat lover), but it's hard to argue with them being innovative. I think the beauty of Hermes is that they are a a traditional house, but still so unpredictable. I really do appreciate that; I think none of us would like their scarves as much if they just churned out Brides de Gala-like designs over and over again.

I think this is a great post.
I am someone who is not young, but tech-obsessed; went to art school (fine arts and paints for fun) but works in old-school finance (don't ask) and I don't live in an area where Hermes is a 'thing' or even on the radar.
But Hermes appeals to me because it is an old house (traditional and extremely well made), yet still fresh and innovative.
The world is getting more casual, but we still are drawn to things that are beautiful. Be it a lovely pair of gloves that you can feel the quality and care they were made with, a scarf that makes your heart sing, or a purse in a glorious color that will last for years if taken care of - we are pulled to and aware of that sort of beauty.
I love art - whether it be painting or well made things - and Hermes is putting Art out there. We may not all like or agree with what they're doing - but it is well done.
(and excuse my rambling - blame the wine!)

There's a few more you can probably add on to the list. Some of these pics I pulled from earlier in this thread and some are crops from pics in the AW Accessories thread.

ihalhaiha posted this earlier and I think these are pocket squares. The left looks like Omnibus but I don't know the right one:

then I zoomed in on a pic that was over in the AW accessories thread and it does look like Zebras as a bandana and also Ex Libris (plus what looks like Maxi Twillies on the left. Can't say those excite me....)

and there are some twillies behind the hat I zoomed in a bit. It may be Astrologie based on the way the pattern is laid out....but it isn't very clear (and didn't they just do Astrologie recently???)

I'm so glad to read all this! Actually, after I posted I thought that was probably stupid stuff to say, LOL. I definitely think mixing up the shopping areas in the boutique is great. I started with scarves and quickly branched out, sometimes by accident. But seeing pretty things is always tempting and H can be intimidating if you think you need separate SAs for all your wishes. The new store will have a cooler environment (possibly dangerous to discover items I didn't even know H makes!).
I did NOT know horseback riding is big in Silicon Valley! The West Coast is the best coast, even though I don't live there ATM.

I love that audio equipment plugged in design. Sorry to be dense here - have we got its name?

That one was discovered quite early in this thread and is called 'Last Night' although there seems to be an alternative 'Hermesonique' header at the top of the list of the 'tunes' ( actually scarf names from previous seasons) played through the equipment. It appears to be part of the men's collection in 100cm cashmere and silk ( just like the spider robots from autumn winter 2017). It's a Dimitry Ryblchenko design and I love it.
If Hermes sold hi-fi as well as clothes and furniture I would be very poor indeed.

Oh wow! Sous l'Egide was the first CSGM that I ever saw on my first visit to an H boutique. The beauty made me swoon and the price made me gasp... I've always wished ever since that I bought it. Now I can correct that....lol :)

Same here, except I never saw it in the boutique. Love the feathers, hoping for a beautiful one to add to my collection. The Rocabar sounds interesting too.

Nice list! I recently found out there will be a Jaguar Quetzal twilly, and a new type of twilly that is very long (almost like the old maxi twilly).
